Key figures

  • ZIP 02109 FEC itemizations total $17,950,023 across 27,455 contributions.
  • The mean line is about $654; downtown Boston mail is often an office key.
  • Keep the leading zero when matching Massachusetts ZIPs.
  • This packet does not publish a unique-donor count.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

A financial-district ZIP, higher dollars per line

$17,950,023 divided by 27,455 is about $654 per itemized line. 02109 is State Street and the Custom House more than a residential neighborhood. That does not make every row a PAC. It does make workplace addresses more likely than in a Newton household ZIP. The packet still has only two facts. It has no unique-donor count.

Twenty-seven thousand four hundred fifty-five contributions is a shorter list than many $18 million ZIPs. Repeat itemizations, law-firm and fund addresses, and redesignations can add rows. Quote 27,455 as a line count, not as a census of downtown residents.

LobbyVault does not attach a Boston political identity to $17,950,023. The source is FEC.gov receipts tagged 02109.

Financial District filers often list the office. $17,950,023 across 27,455 contributions still has to be quoted as a ZIP roll-up, not as a fund-manager census. Keep the leading zero. Keep 27,455 as a line count. This packet has no unique-donor count. The $654 mean is a ratio. Recheck the ZIP 02109 FEC page after quarterly filings. 02110 is a different key. FEC.gov controls.

Keep the leading zero on Massachusetts ZIPs

02109 is a five-digit code. Spreadsheets that store 2109 will fail to match FEC itemizations. A filer who lists a workplace, a filer who lists a downtown condo, and a joint fundraising committee that uses a 02109 suite all land in the same bucket. $17,950,023 is that bucket. It is not a resident-only book.

Open named receipts on the ZIP 02109 FEC page if you need to see which committees appear. This guide will not invent a split inside 27,455 lines.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 02109?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 02109 total $17,950,023 across 27,455 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of downtown Boston residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $654 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 02109?
LobbyVault counts 27,455 itemized contributions for ZIP 02109. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Workplace-address batches and repeat gifts can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $17,950,023.
Does ZIP 02109 include only Boston residents?
No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Financial District offices and committees that file 02109 can be part of $17,950,023 when that is what was entered. Keep the leading zero when matching files. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 02109 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $17,950,023 and 27,455 lines for ZIP 02109. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and Massachusetts state filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.

ZIP is the 5-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.
